I think that any sport, that has penalty for injuring the horse in it's rules, is a sport that recognizes it's not a horse friendly sport. As such it should not be called a sport but potential for animal abuse.

Note, i also loathe steeplechase racing, military style jumping or most if not all kinds of horse racing... when the human goes balls out for the win, ultimately the horse pays the price.

Besides, jousting, it's just one big pissing contest really. They could easily do it with frigging Harleys instead.
